Did you know that the University of Western Sydney (UWS) established a free-to-air community television station, Television Sydney (TVS) in 2005 with a group of educational and community providers? It can be found on digital channel 44 and analogue channel 31 throughout Sydney and broadcasts twenty-four hours a day seven days a week.
Our television Broadcast Operations Centre is located on the University’s Werrington South campus within the School of Communication Arts, which is closely integrated with postgraduate programs in media and television. The facilities are state-of-the–art; including a television studio, streaming server, live outside broadcast remote facility and post production editing and sound studios.
Since February 2009 TVS has provided live streaming for all its shows and the (TVS) iPhone app now allows viewers to watch their favourite TVS shows wherever they are. This application also has an integrated program guide allowing users to browse through the television schedule and program information.
The focus is on Sydney-specific programming with some programs sourced from interstate community channels and from professional program makers. A number of programs are also produced and supplied by UWS and genuine not-for-profit community based program makers receive free program airtime.
An interesting range of programs are screened to appeal to a wide audience with just a small selection highlighted below:
· Science Spectrum- new series that takes viewers to the cutting edge of scientific research at UWS.
· Small Biz Central- Q & A forum for small business owners with UWS academics, industry experts and government advisors.
· Shelf Life- hosted by Dr Milissa Deitz and Dr Rachel Morley from the UWS School of Communication Arts, who interview local and international writers and discover the books that everyday readers are passionate about.
